Last night we had some major storms roll through here, late. I heard one earlier which made me shut the computer down for the night. Glad I did because sometime during the night I heard the boys coming through the house making sure all the windows were closed. I go up shortly after that and the time was only about 11:30 so I must have been sleeping really well. Later, all of a sudden this flash of lightening is like right in my eyes so I look and I see the window is open with the fan in and the blinds all the way open. I figured hubby must have done that. The man seems to be paranoid about me being warm now for some reason. If he even thinks I'm hot he turns the floor and ceiling fans on, lol. Well, along with the lightening I realize it's pouring and the fan is bringing the rain in. So get up to shut that off and close the window. I hear hubby coming down the hallway calling for me. Did the man really think if I was asleep I was going to hear him? Recently, the sun room ceiling has sprung a major leak. The rain was coming in and hubby had no idea what to do about it. I start grabbing buckets and pots and we put them under the leaks. Of course, the kids left the windows on the sides of the sun room open and the wind blown rain is just coming in and soaking everything. I go to crawl back in bed and realize that the clocks are blinking which means the electric was out at some point. That's probably what had the boys up.

So this morning hubby gets up and does his usual hang the head out the door thing and the cat decided she just can't resist and out she goes. Hubby calls me to tell me the cat went out. Well, if she's out, she's out and you just have to wait until she's ready to come back in. He went outside for her, but she saw him and ran. She's hanging around the yard, but as soon as someone approaches her, she's off running again. Temperamental cat! At one point me and the cat rain into each other. I was coming back from shopping and she comes around the corner and stops dead. Clearly she wasn't expecting to see me. I stopped dead because she has a mouse in her mouth. No way I'm going near her! She drops the mouse and proceeds to play with it, only to lose it in one of the bushes, lol. Darn cat! If you're going to refuse to come in because you want to catch mice, at least make sure they aren't moving when you're done playing with them! Don't let them go so they can come in my house!!

Went into town to get some hard candy. This stuff is so good. It's made by Baskin Robbins in chocolate chip mint flavor. Mmmm. I try to keep this in my purse since I never know when I'll get to coughing so bad I think I'm gonna cough up an organ. But, I guess my throat gets dry, but having a piece of hard candy helps. I took the last 2 I had to church with me this morning, along with a bottle of water. I was prepared, lol. There was a woman across from me who just kept coughing and coughing. I would have given her my bottle of water, but I had already drank out of it and didn't want to give her what I just got over. Although, from the way she was coughing, I think she might have been getting over what I just got over. While I was in town I went to staples. I wanted a new wireless mouse. The really pretty ones were for notebooks and I didn't feel like walking all around the store just to try to find someone to ask if there were all compatible. Get up to the register and there's this guy there. Older guy, not a kid and totally not paying attention to what he's doing. He rings me up and completely forgets my coupon. It's a $5.00 off coupon, yes, you better see it. He totals me up and I pick up the coupon and tell him I have one and I want to use it. You would think that since I'm giving it to you................. He re rings the sale and drops my debit card down a tiny crack between the counter and the register. Well...........................3 guys and 30 minutes later I can finally leave. At one point he asked me if I just wanted to come back for the card. Um, no. Now I'm irritated and getting tired and have 2 more stored to get to. Well, one really but since I was in town, and only needed one thing I thought I would be in and out. Fashion Bug, only went in for one thing.................$60.00 later...............................lol. By the time I got to dollar tree it was in and out for me. Except I got behind this one woman who was shopping with someone else. Ok, no big deal. But...............everything she pulled out of the cart she had to show the other woman who was with her, and they stood there discussing the item before she put it on the counter. The woman had a shopping cart full of stuff!! Finally, someone else came and opened the other register. In the time it took to ring me out and get myself outside with my 2 bags the other woman, who I was behind originally, was just getting out the door. I'm sitting in my car and as soon as I saw them I left. No way I want to get behind them on the road. They might drive like they shop, lol!

Came home and finished my translations so tomorrow I can start reading. One load of laundry done for the day, just waiting for the oldest to fold it. The oldest works tomorrow and the youngest is going to a friends house for the day. Yee, ha.............I get the house all to myself tomorrow!! Yeah, hubby wants to drag my but through some stores tomorrow:(
